Bab 138

Isang salitang “diborsyo” ang wawasak sa pitong taong kasal ni Mariel Benning. Sa loob ng isang iglap, ang asawang si Billie Walter—ang lalaking minsang nangakong “habambuhay”—ay humiling ng kalayaan para pakasalan ang ibang babae: si Vicky Singson, ang babaeng sinasabing may anim na buwang taning ang buhay. Habang pinupuri ng mundo si Vicky, unti-unting naglalaho si Mariel sa mga anino ng kasinungalingan. Ngunit sa ilalim ng kanyang katahimikan, may lihim siyang tangan—isang lihim na mag payanig sa lahat. Pag-ibig, pagtataksil, at paghihiganti—isang kwento ng babaeng iniwan, ngunit hindi natalo. Dahil kapag ang puso’y minsang sinugatan, matututunan nitong tumibok muli—hindi para sa iba, kundi para sa sarili. “Hindi ko kailangan maging perpekto para manatili ka. Pero sa pag-alis mo, doon ko natagpuan kung sino talaga ako.”

Framed. Divorced. Abandoned. With nothing left but desperation, she signs a contract to carry a stranger’s child for money that could save her daughter's life. She doesn’t know the stranger is Wellington Chane… A ruthless businessman haunted by fire, loss, and vengeance. A man who swore to make her suffer.

When my roommate learned that getting pregnant in university came with special treatment, she brazenly posted on the campus forum, openly recruiting a "baby daddy." [Requirements: over 5'11", eight-pack abs, handsome, assets in the millions, no bad habits.] Afraid she would ruin her life on a moment of reckless impulse, I snatched her phone, deleted the post, and gave her a serious rundown on the risks and consequences of early pregnancy while still studying. After much deliberation, she was finally persuaded. But a month later, a classmate struck it rich by getting pregnant. She not only married into a wealthy family, but also received a million-dollar childbirth bonus from her in-laws. My roommate was driven mad with jealousy. She stormed into the dorm, shrieking at me at the top of her lungs. "If it weren't for you, I'd be a rich wife by now! You owe me my life!" As she screamed, she stabbed me over and over, venting her rage until I was dead. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day she first posted on the forum, brazenly searching for a baby daddy.
